On this subject I do hope there is an investigation carried out (thorough) before the US acts in any way against Saudi Arabia. I know this is the allegation, but I do hope cool heads prevail before an international incident occurs.

It's a democratic ploy in an attempt to dull the power and might of the Saudis. Hell, they've been able to hold onto their country for over a century, they had to have done it somehow.

It's not out of the question that it could have been a random murder. It's too messy to have been a plotted assassination.

A random murder. Of a journalist critical of the Saudi Government. In the Saudi Consulate. Who seems t have been cut into several pieces.

Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be a government assassination. There are people who love their country and will defend it at any cost.

It’s basicaly admitting their guilt in every way, only thinly trying to excuse the Prince saying he wanted him “captured” not murdered and dismembered. Time to start shutting consulates, perhaps?

You missed the joke.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

We need Daniel Kaffee..

Kaffee: You said he was in danger. I said "grave danger"? You said...
Jessup: I recall what I said.

Kaffee: Then why the two orders? Colonel?
Jessup: Sometimes men take matters into their own hands.
Kaffee: No, sir. You made it clear just a moment ago that your men never take matters into their own hands. Your men follow orders or people die. So Santiago shouldn't have been in any danger at all, should he have, Colonel?

Ross: Your Honor, I'd like to ask for recess.
Kaffee: I'd like an answer to the question, Judge.
Judge Randolph: The court will wait for an answer.

Kaffee: Now I'm asking you!
Kaffee: Colonel Jessup! Did you order the Code Red?!
Judge Randolph: You don't have to answer that question!
Jessup: I'll answer the question. You want answers?
Kaffee: I think I'm entitled to it!
Jessup: You want answers?!
Kaffee: I want the truth!!
Jessup: You can't handle the truth!
